Fall is definitely here!!!

What an awesome time of year!  Fall is such a pleasant time for so many reasons--the weather begins to cool off, it's fun to be outside, it's beautiful, it reminds me of my (our) wedding, and with a new season brings new experiences for our little B.  Brinley has really enjoyed the weather since I'm more likely to go outside with her now that it's cooled off.  Here are some fun photos of Brinley (and our family) enjoying fall.

Raking leaves with Daddy...kind of a never-ending project

We need all the help we can get!

Taking a break with Dad to have some water

Getting ready to jump in the leaves!

So fun!

Getting buried in the leaves!

Doing a sponge painting project I used to do with my
second graders (yes, she's advanced)....and yes, I'm the
brave mom who doesn't put down any "protective" covering
before painting on the hardwood floors...

Getting in her wagon...she asked me to pull her around-- "mommy pull!"

Brinley loves to wear Daddy's shoes

So believe it or not, it really did get cold...at least
cold for us :)

Enjoying being bundled up

One of Brinley's current favorite activities is setting the table.
She likes to buckle various babies into her high chair and then
put out "food" for them.  She is holding a bib in her hand--getting ready
to fasten it to "baby."

Being super silly as usual

More silliness....Brinley's pants are extremely high in case you can't tell :)

Wearing baby in her "sling"--she was happy to
be hands free while caring for her baby--
Brinley likes to remind me that having a small
baby is very hard work.

 We should be able to post a video soon of Brinley enjoying and jumping in the leaves.
